@Office365 install.

I have been invited to join my families O365 account but I am unable to install. I think it might be due to the fact I have a previous install of a student version so when I logon to my MS account, under subscriptions I only see that 2021 Student offering. The email linked family share doesnt seem to allow me to use that Office software - Outlook Classic
